Yume 2kki Sorted By Yume Nikki Worlds
Catalog of 2kki worlds based on what worlds from Yume Nikki they resemble or reference. Mostly just for fun. Loosely based off of the Yume 2kki:Yume Nikki page. Thanks to Oh0kaYthen86 and WikiOdd for the suggestions.
Galleries are sorted alphabetically with YN worlds first, then 2kki worlds second. Worlds currently without an image of their resemblance will have a placeholder instead.
Barracks Settlement
- Scorched Wasteland and Trophy Animal Land's Drum Folk Village contain desert settlements resembling Barracks Settlement.
- Bleeding Heads Garden contains a room resembling the Seahorse Room and houses a similar looking NPC named Petriphant.
- Sculpture Park's Purple Forest Path contains several buildings with eyes that follow Urotsuki, similar to the Isees in the settlement's passage to Mural World.

Block World
- Deep Red Wilds, Garden World, Radiant Ruins, Toy World, and Wooden Block World all feature isometric strucures reminicent of those in Block World.
- A notable specific similarity shared by several of these worlds is rows of pillars of various heights, which parallel a sequential row of pillars originally seen in the bottom south end of Block World.
- An interesting but likely coincidental shared feature is that all of them are angled towards the northeast, opposite of Block World's original northwest perspective.
Candle World
- Pudding World resembles Candle World, albeit with pudding instead of wax candles. Inhabiting the world are walking pudding NPCs that resemble the Walking Candles.
Checkered Tile Path
- Several areas are made up isometric tiled paths with a similar style to Checkered Tile Path.
- Notably, Closet Pinwheel Path is directly themed around closets like the one Closet Madotsuki is found in.
Closet Madotuski
- Closet Pinwheel Path has a running theme of closets similar to Closet Madotsuki's (as mentioned in the section above). An isolated hidden area with a ghostly Urotsuki can be accessed from the Netherworld, paralleling how the original closet is only accessible from Lamp World.
- The Haunted Cabinet in Nostalgic House contains a decapitated woman in the fetal position hidden inside, similar to finding Closet Madotsuki in the closet.
- One of the rooms in Shadow Lady Estate has a wardrobe containing Urotsuki in a similar manner.
Dark World
- Dark Museum starts intially darkened and requires the Lantern effect to properly see, in a similar manner to Dark World.
- Obsidian Plains also similarly requires the lantern and has several drawings made up of floor tiles like Dark World does.
Dense Woods A
- Pansy Path, Radiant Stones Pathway, and White Fern World have long paths that resemble Dense Woods A's Infinite Road with its Floyags.
- Marshmallow Shallows has a hidden room with a Floyag-like creature.
Dense Woods B & Witch's Island
- Several forest areas in Yume 2kki appear to be modeled after Dense Woods B and Witch's Island. Their specific style of silhouette treelines is paralleled by the majority of these areas.
Docks
- Yume 2kki's own Docks, Rice Field, and Streetlight Docks resemble Yume Nikki's Docks. Like the original, these areas all have anglular, maze-like pathways over water as their main theme and design.
- Forest Pier contains a Docks-like section with these elements as well.
- Streetlight Docks has a fishing NPC similar to the Docks' Fisherman.
- Nightfall Park has a small subsection resembling the Docks, which also contains a Strober-esque NPC. (see below section)
Strober
- The Flashing Trombonist in Baddies Bar, the NPC in Nightfall Park that unlocks System Sounds #5, and the Candyman in Sugar World's Sugary Depths are all stick figure NPCs that resemble Strober.
Eyeball World
- Broken Faces Area, Hand Fields, Sugar World's Sugary Depths, and Vomiting Mouths World are similar to Eyeball World, as they all have disembodied body parts littered throughout.
- Broken Faces Area and Vomiting Mouths World also have pairs of faces that directly parallel a specific set of faces in Eyeball World.
Severed Blue Head
- Abandoned Factory contains a strange face doorway that resembles an abstract version of the Severed Blue Head leading to Footprint Path.
- Flesh Paths World features cartoonish severed heads similar to the Severed Blue Head, all of which also act as doorways.

Face Carpet Plaza
- Sparkling Dimension A, the intial area of Clawtree Forest, and Wooded Lakeside B's Gnarled Tree Plaza all resemble Face Carpet Plaza.
- Notably, Gnarled Tree Plaza features Shimako wearing a big hat, who uncharacteristically chases down Urotsuki in the manner of a Shadow Lady. If she "catches" her, she'll put the hat on her head and run away, rather than trap her in a dead end. Her inclusion in this area puts her in a similar role to the Toriningen chaser that can be found in Face Carpet Plaza.
Famicom Worlds

- Static Noise Hell, Oblique Hell, and 3D Underworld (which reuses the previous world's map turned upside down) are all directly visually based on Hell.

Poniko's House

- Seishonen in Urotsuki's Dream Apartments resembles Poniko, having a similar sprite and eye type. There's a 1/31 chance that the room with glitch out upon entering, which is more or less their equivalent to the Uboa event.
